ACCESSABILITY

The guesthouse is a short way back from the road. There is a car park to the left side of the property which is partially stoned and on an upward slope of approximately 20-30°.

To access the property one can either:
Go through the gate to the side of the property towards the rear of the car parking area, continue through the courtyard for about 7 metres and down three stone steps to the back door; or
From the car parking area go to the front of the house via a flight of 5 stone steps up to the gate and then along a gravel track (2 metres) to the front door.

If you use the front door there is a strong likelihood that the bell or knocker will not be heard as the sound does not travel up 3 flights of stairs or to the kitchen at the rear of the property.  For this reason we always advise guests to access the property at the backdoor via the courtyard.

One should be aware there is limited headroom to some of the doorways in the house.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Unfortunately, due to disrespectful dog owners, dogs are no longer welcome to stay in the farmhouse (seeing eye/hearing dogs excepted, but only in 1st floor double bedroom).  All guests are requested to ensure their dogs do not rest or sleep on beds or climb on furniture.  All damage by dogs will be charged for - including professional cleaning of any materials in the room or house.  All guests are requested to clean up after their dog if they use the back garden and/or foul the car parking area/road by front gate. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times.  Do not expect us to dispose of any dog mess or clear up after your dog - it is up to you to provide plastic bags and take the mess with you.  This is because dog excrement can cause Toxocariasis and the garden is for the enjoyment of all guests.  There is a public footpath to the side of the house leading into fields where you can exercise your dog

We do not accept children unless previously arranged - minimum age 10 years.

Reception for Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone networks are good; all others have limited reception as we are in a valley.
